Cultivating Global Perspectives and Operational Expertise

My internship at SportInspired in London, facilitated by Absolute Internship, was a pivotal experience that significantly elevated my early career trajectory. Through this program, I collaborated with the SportInspired Finance team and CEO, using Microsoft 365 and Xero to streamline budget planning and execution while contributing to strategic, long-term business initiatives. The experience also allowed me to develop operational expertise by managing ten sports festivals that positively impacted over 500 children, 50 teachers, and 200 volunteers from underprivileged communities. These events promoted active lifestyles and fostered social connections through sports. Absolute Internship provided a unique platform for me to gain hands-on experience in a dynamic, multicultural environment, further strengthening my ability to navigate global challenges with a solutions-driven mindset.

I would recommend this experience to anyone !

I did an on-site internship with absolute in Lisbon Portugal and it was amazing. The accommodation and facilities provided were top quality and all the activities outside the internship were extremely organised. The coordinators had also made a great match between me and my employer. I have made an amazing connections with the law firm I worked with and the students I met. I would recommend this experience to anyone !

During my internship we went to Sintra and Porto and it gave us the opportunity to see new parts of Portugal that some of us with busy schedules did not have the time for !

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The most nerve-racking moment for me was getting ready for my first day at my onsite legal internship. This was my first time in such a professional environment and I was very nervous for what everyone would think of me and my abilities. These nerves quickly went away as my employers were the most lovely group of lawyers and towards the end of the first week I started to feel part of the team!
Pros
  • The City
  • The opportunities to travel
  • My internship was a perfect match
Cons
  • I wish I did a longer program

Overall, it was an unforgettable adventure that I would highly recommend to anyone seeking personal and professional growth abroad.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Do not get too comfortable in a routine, keep things fresh and fun by trying some new ATLEAST once a week.
Pros
  • Gave me a chance to network and make new friends
  • Experience a new culture and perspective
  • Really good support and advice from Absolute Internship
Cons
  • The internship placement may not perfectly align with your personal career goals or skills (might be a good thing if you're looking to try something new).
  • While making connections with other interns is great, there could have been more opportunities provided to fully integrate or connect with Swedish culture and local professionals.
  • Wish I got to try more food and stay longer!

Amazing with GoAbroadChina

I came to China for an Internship in Finance at an investment company. I chose China because the Chinese economy is booming and it is the best destination now. I decided to use GoAbroadChina services because their program was the most suitable for me and offered more options for Internship Programs. Also, the extra activities that GoAbroadChina provides are more tailored for young foreign people.

My Chinese classes were very helpful, especially because there was a great environment to practice. After staying in China and meeting many people I’ve really started to think about my future career in China and keep learning the Chinese language.

Great career growth opportunity for university students

I had an incredible experience with absolute internship during my internship program in Barcelona in the summer of 2022 while studying at the University of Kent. The team was exceptional in helping me choose the perfect program, tailored to my interests and career goals. This internship provided me with valuable opportunities for both personal and professional growth. I gained practical experience, developed new skills, and built connections with like-minded individuals in my field. It also gave me a significant confidence boost as I took my first steps toward my career. Beyond the professional benefits, one of the most memorable aspects of the program was traveling with fellow interns and exploring the beautiful cities of Spain on weekends. These adventures added an extra layer of excitement and created lifelong memories. I highly recommend absolute internship to students and young professionals looking to kickstart their careers. It's a fantastic way to grow, learn, and experience life in a new and vibrant culture!

Summer to Never Forget

It was an amazing summer and program. It was a great time and the placement was fantastic. Housing was amazing and the cultural activities were unforgettable. I remember being greeted by the program advisors, and they made the transition to a foreign country seamless. Furthermore, they helped us adapt to the country, feel comfortable with our placement, and navigate the city with a dominant foreign language. I had so much fun and met so many great friends who were also participating in the program.

Transformative Internship Experience

My experience with Absolute Internship was phenomenal. The support before, during and after my experience was more than I could have ever planned on. I was provided the opportunity to intern at a company in my field of study, marketing, and preferred industry, fashion! I learned valuable hands on professional skills while growing personal skills. I can not recommend an internship abroad with Absolute more to any undergraduate student interested in gaining cultural understanding and working experience.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Take the risk! Soak in every moment because the time flies and once you are home, you will wish everyday you were back.
Pros
  • Valuable professional internship experience
  • Opportunity to travel Europe
  • Met lifelong friends and mentors

Absolute Tokyo

My time with Absolute Internship was amazing and really eye opening both in the work force, learning new skill and technique but also socially, meeting a wide range of people who I now cherish. I was placed in Tokyo, Japan the opportunities this granted me while out there have become core memories for the rest of my life. I worked remotely which was surprisingly helpful as I could manage my work a long side trips. It meant the world to me to see parts or my childhood like Pokémon and Nintendo all around me. So from day one I could tell it was going to be an unforgettable trip. Additionally, the friends that I made along the way elevated my experience even more!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Experiencing the work time rush on the trains was a crazy experience but as long as you stay focused and confident you'll be just fine!
Pros
  • Amazing support from staff
  • Friends for life
  • Travel opportunities
Cons
  • Expensive

The best thing I did this summer!

Doing an internship with Absolute Internship this summer is the best decision I have made for my personal and professional development! I spent a month in Barcelona as a marketing intern where I was able to spend time in industry and meet amazing people from across the globe.

I heard about Absolute through a Global Opportunities session at my university. I first explored a few different companies but from the start the team at Absolute Internships was engaged and happy to answer my questions. They helped me find an amazing company to work with and helped me get ready for the trip through briefing sessions. There was a period of quiet in between being placed and gearing up to start, but it was good to know I could reach out with questions if I had any.

After landing in Barcelona and meeting the Program Coordinators I felt comfortable. It was scary to travel on my own but the transport to our accommodation was a great way to meet my fellow interns. We had a nice meal to get to know each other and a city-wide scavenger hunt in teams helped introduce us to the city at large. Our program coordinators were on hand if we had any questions, which was very reassuring. The accomodation was lovely with great facilities on site and nearby. Being able to go for a swim in the pool after working remote was very refreshing!

My internship company was a perfect match for what I wanted to gain experience in. Being able to create content to a brief and have constructive feedback at every stage really helped me feel more confident. I quickly was able to get involved in the brand and am proud of the work I delivered. Putting theory into practice has made my third year at university much more productive as I can better understand key concepts.

I could not recommend this experience enough to anyone who is interested in travelling and gaining experience in their field! Absolute Internships was the perfect summer experience and has led me to further opportunities which is improving my career.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
A magical moment for me was visiting Sagrada Familia at night with a friend who had come to visit me and seeing someone playing the violin. It just struck me how special this time is.
Pros
  • Excellent experience
  • Supportive Staff
  • Beautiful city to explore
Cons
  • Working while on holiday took away from being able to explore
